Well, what does that look like to you? Would you guess it’s a new social network from Radiohead, everyone’s favorite experimental band who released their album last year for whatever you thought it was worth? No? Well neither would I, but that’s what it is.
Looks to be centrally integrated with the band it’s self (tours, photos, videos, you know) so you can all go check out waste-central.com if you’re a huge radiohead fan.
Whenever you think of contests, most of you will just turn the other way. I mean, come on, how often do people really win those things, right? Well that’s not entirely true.
Did any of you hear abou Winningtheweb’s huge blog contest? Yes? No? Doesn’t matter. All you need to know is it was huge! $14,000+ worth of prizes, free entry, multiple entries available with participation. A simple winning formula to a good blog competition.
So why enter these types of contests? Why not! To start with, why not create a new category for your blog; perhaps call it “Contests”. This is the category you’ll use to blog about the contests to earn extra entries. Not all contests will require this, but some will.
Now, head over to a blog contest site or blog such as contestblogger, and check out the currently running contest and competitions that you can enter.
Simply follow the instructions of that competition, and cross your fingers!
Most people who use iTunes or QuickTime for Windows will be aware of the updater program that updates your software for you whenever a new version arrives on the virtual shelves. Most of you will not be aware that the apple updater has been pushing software other that QuickTime and iTunes as of late. Recently many user’s of Apple’s QuickTime or iTunes on Windows have been met with an unexpected guest: Safari 3.1
Apple claims that Safari is the world’s fastest web browser (and I tend to agree for the most part), but forcing a new, unfamiliar browser upon unsuspecting Windows users is a bit sneaky. Personally, I’d be chuffed if all Windows users started using Safari, and leveraging the already huge iPod & iTunes user base is a great way to make atleast some of them switch.. But I also believe forcing it upon them isn’t the right way to go about it - it will only confuse people who most likely are just recovering from this new “firefox” thing.. Leave your opinions in the comments.
As promised nearly 6 months ago, Limewire has unleashed it’s Music Store on the world with about 500,000 (mostly independant) tracks. It’s still in Beta right now, so not everything is perfect and changes are still being made (like, hopefully, an increase in more well known artists?). A quick browse, though, turns up some of my favorite bands like Data Rock. Tracks are all $0.99 as far as I can see, and albums are $9.99. Alternatively you can buy a monthly subscription and get up to 75 downloads a month for $19.99 (that’s $0.27 a song!). Nice stuff.
Unfortunately, It’s only available to people from the US (due to licensing restrictions) so, being from Australia, I was unable to test out their services. If you’re from America, please leave your feedback in the comments!
Apparently, according to PC Magazine, these are the top 10 most commonly used passwords online:
Now, I wouldn’t have really posted this except a) It shows how stupid people are and, b) blink-182 is my favourite band and it’s pretty awesome that they are the 9th most popular password ever. Wicked.
